Designing a scalable, high availability and future-proof platform for cloud native compute

Designing a scalable, high availability and future-proof platform is a cornerstone for many cloud projects.

In Kubernetes, all microservices are packaged into containers that incorporate software code and all of its dependencies into a standardized unit. The container orchestration and all configuration are managed by Kubernetes which acts as a platform to execute and run multiple and complex container workloads. The second option is to use serverless functions that execute the software code. Cloud providers allocate and manage the underlying infrastructure on demand, taking care of the servers on behalf of their customers. A single Function App can contain multiple functions whereas each function corresponds to a method in programming language. Within microservice architecture, a Function App corresponds to a single microservice and can therefore scale independently.
